Is the Earth Flat?

[GH2001]

Some seem to think so. This theory is apparently making a comeback these days. With athletes and a few other celebrities jumping on board.

But Joe Rogan is having none of the shit. Was talking to Chizad earlier about this. Some of Joe's takes on the new found flat earth theorists is downright hilarious. I generally like Joe Rogan and his take on this is no exception.

Some of the comments on the Facebook post are gold.

While most people refer to the shape of the earth’s shadow on the moon as a viable explanation for the planet’s shape, some people simply find that to be all but convincing. For those people, Joe Rogan has a word or two.

Comedian and UFC commentating veteran Joe Rogan is an avid fan of conspiracy theories. The commentator hosted his own show for one season, Joe Rogan Questions Everything was featured on the SyFy channel.

Now, Rogan has gone to Facebook to attempt to debunk an older argument. Rogan is trying to prove that the world is, in fact, not flat.

Hilariously ending his message with “Google is your friend,” Rogan went to Facebook to say

“For all you people that have bought into this flat earth nonsense and continue to leave comments that they don’t believe the earth is round because “every photo of earth is a composite” I present to you this (one of many, many images) taken by the Japanese Himawari – 8 satellite. It takes full earth images in high resolution from 22,000 miles above the earth every 10 minutes. Just the fact that this exists and yet all these people have been arguing there are no full images of the earth from space should tell you the level of bullshit that’s involved in this stupid fucking “theory.” There are perplexing things to ponder in this bizarre and fascinating universe, folks, but this ain’t one of them. Google is your friend.”

Not gonna lie, I'm fascinated by this idea. I mean, what if they are right? This is the kind of stuff like the argument at the center of The Final Countdown (Martin Sheen/Kirk Douglass flick, not the 80s song).

few thoughts on that Six:

1. where are the edges? how can we orbit with edges and why has no one found them? Just a thought there.

2. the way we do flight patterns to asia from both west and east coast in two different directions would seem to debunk their standard model of a flat earth

Jesus titty fucking Christ...is this what a Trump presidency has wrought?

Anti-intellectualism is cute...when you're probing the edges of new scientific theory.

This is idiocy.

In defense of the Trumper, this new interest in flat earthiness started a couple of years ago. Its just now getting attention due to some celebrities jumping aboard. But the ones who believe this stuff? They are hardcore. And will fight you. It IS idiocy.

I'm just a caveman lawyer, I fell in some ice and later got thawed out by your scientists. Your round world frightens and confuses me.

Wait...you're saying it's round?

Spinning right round.

Spinning right round.

Like a record?

Right round round round

[GH2001]

Right round round round

But a record is flat.

And we've come full circle.

Photographic evidence, yet most on here will continue to deny.

I still believe, in spite of me and what I have become;
I'll find the one I used to be to bring me full circle.

Maybe you should do some research!!!
